From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Will we finally get properly working system tray? Man can dream...
They've been trying to make a cross-desktop standard for a little while now, but progress is certainly slow :/
Cool. Now how about image thumbnail in the file picker. I mean seriously...
Already done like a couple of releases ago.
Wasn't this fixed finally a while ago? I swear i read somewhere it was.
My understanding is it's 13 years or so of requests, and still nothing. Something so incredibly basic, and required.
Great news! Maybe now they'll spare a day of work to get desktop icons going again. No more funding excuses for the fanboys now.
Why would you want desktop icons? I mean I get it, there were quite popular back in the day, but I don’t see how a big junky place of a desktop has any benefit
Shooting yourself in the foot to dab on the people trying to convert to linux
Also forcing people to go KDE to be again disappointed because their design is bad.
KDE is awesome
Desktop icons 🤢
